The Dodgers issued the following statement Sunday:

"We have spoken to Yasiel and made it clear that we, as an organization, are very disappointed in his recent behavior. This is a very serious issue to us and we will continue to educate him and strive to further develop his growth off the field and as a member of this community."

Puig, a 23-year-old Cuba native, was arrested in April in Tennessee and charged with reckless driving and speeding after traveling 97 mph in a 50-mph zone while with the Dodgers' Double-A Chattanooga affiliate. Those charges were dropped in November.

Puig finished second in the National League Rookie of the Year Award voting this season after hitting .319 with 19 home runs and 42 RBIs in 104 games for the Dodgers.
